| You are playing this out too optimistically and mistakingly judging her according to what she says, and in effect, over-analyzing her actions.
For instance, she says she hasn't gotten over her ex of 1 year, and needs more time to acclimate to you. You attribute this to whatever drawn out problem she has, but it's simply a matter of interest.
If she is interested in you enough, she will want to date you.
That's all you need to know. Never let what a girl says cloud your judgement.
"Not over my ex"
"Too much on my plate"
"Life is too stressful for me right now"
"I'm not ready for a relationship"
all of it is bullshit. A girl who wants to fuck you will fuck you. A girl who wants to date you will date you.
As for the second problem you mentioned, you are handling her shit tests incorrectly. I know it SEEMS like a good idea to "call a girl out" on her tests, but that's misinterpreting game. When you CALL A GIRL OUT, you are OVERTLY communicating to them, something that they HATE.
For instance, if she flirts with another guy and you "call her out" on it - you failed the shit test. Remeber a shit test is DESIGNED TO ELICIT AN EMOTIONAL RESPONSE FROM YOU. Even if YOU think you have a solid frame, by communicating that you are disatsified by what she did, you show her that she's fucked with your state control.
Likewise, if she pushes you away and you tell her "don't push me away," you OVERTLY communicate to her your POWERLESSNESS. This is the crux of irony for ultimatums. While it seems like your getting power BACK, you're actually just conceding it. You essentially told her "I'm getting pissed that you're pushing me away. I have no other cards to play, so it's either accept it or we're done."
She replies "make me stay." That means she's interested in you, but does NOT want to lose the favorable position in your relationship. Right now, who is the challenge? You're fucking up because SHE IS the prize right now. You're WAITING FOR HER to get over her ex. That translates to less attraction and less interest. We only chase what runs away from us, and that applies equally to this girl.
Don't get me wrong, you SHOULD call a girl out for things in so far as there MUST BE lines established in a relationship. She MUST know
"If you do this, I'm gone." And that CANNOT be a bluff. If she calls you out on it, punish swiftly.
But in your case, what you need to do is change the dynamic in your relationship so SHE'S the one going in for the kiss and YOU'RE the one hesitant about going out with her. That means:
(a) Adopt a smooth as fuckingfuckshitfuck attitude of amused mastery. Think James Bond or Tyler Durden. Unshakeable frame, confidence on par with a demi-god, absolutley irrational, for no reason.
(b) Sub-communicate challenge and competitive anxiety. Talk to other girls, flirt around, let her know that you CAN get another girl. You can't TELL HER "hey, if you keep pushing me away i'm gonna dump you for someone else." You need to HINT IT towards her. Have other girls like you, she needs to see that she stands to lose you if she doesn't reciprocate your attempts.
(c) Detach yourself from the outcome of this relationship and start working on yourself. Men with options and ambitions have an aura that makes them stand apart. Pursue both and don't let this premature Oneitis evolve any further.
Remember there is a difference between OVERTLY communicating "if you push me away again, I'm gone" and COVERTLY communicating it. In the former, you just tell her straight up like you did. In the latter, you freeze her out for 3 days and she sees you with another girl in-between. DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT fall for the trap of thinking you should act MORE NEEDY. Girls will sometimes say "make me stay" to get more attention out of you, but remember relationships are often COUNTER INTUITIVE.
In this case, "make me stay" means "make me WANT to stay."
And what good sir, does every girl in the entire world want?
What they can't have.
